[suexxxx]

Good choice

[Chris]

Duran Duran had many more better songs.

[Robin]

I've never been a huge fan of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet's finest moment was "Gold", which is better than anything Duran Duran did, so i'll opt for them.

[Admin]

Oh I hated spoandau ballet with a passion (sorry), dull, dull, dull, Musclebound was about their only good song, duran duran were ace though, loved em! I think they have aged better as well.

[-Big Dan-]

Duran Duran were fab, and I never liked Spandau Ballet.

duran duran...one of my favorite bands ever.

[rubcale]

Duran Duran. A harder edge to their music.

Quite correct about Spandau's best track being Gold... completely off your rocker if you think they're better than Duran Duran! Ordinary World, Rio, Save A Prayer, Out Of My Mind, Come Undone, Planet Earth, Electric Barbarella, Hungry Like The Wolf etc all wipe the floor with anything Spandau could ever do.

Duran Duran, a great band from the 80s, and one of my fave 80s act

[Hullboy]

Both had their moments but has to be DD. My favourites from them are Planet Earth, Save a prayer, Skin trade and New Moon on Monday.

SB's best songs were I'll fly for you, Gold, True and Lifeline.

[dingdongdaddy]

It's Duran Duran for me.

[Morag]
